Who You Gonna Call? Cinema’s most famous ghost-hunting ride is now on Autotrader for £150k

With spooky season right around the corner, Autotrader, the UK’s largest automotive marketplace, is giving Halloween fanatics and car enthusiasts the ultimate nostalgic thrill with a one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia landing on the platform for £150,000.

Inspired by the legendary red-and-white 1950s Cadillac wagon, this head-turning Ecto-1, complete with blaring wailer sirens, rooftop spectral-detection gear, and its legendary anti-paranormal emblem, has just appeared on Autotrader’s AI-powered ‘OMG’ category - a dedicated space for the UK’s most unique, quirky, and awe-inspiring vehicles.

 

For this Halloween, the iconic Cadillac - which features a 5.7L V8 Corvette injection engine - has a spooky surprise in store: a full-size Slimer ghost prop. The removable ghoul can be perched on the roof, where he’s guaranteed to steal the show and create an unforgettable Halloween snapshot.

The Cadillac Ecto-1 combines classic American styling with an eye-catching roof setup, striking lights and an onboard sound system that plays music and memorable film quotes to create an entertaining atmosphere. It can accommodate up to seven passengers, making it as well-suited to special event appearances and themed celebrations as it is to show-stopping photo opportunities. Registered for use on UK roads, the vehicle comes complete with legendary Ecto-1 show plates.

Whether you're gearing up to tackle some local phantom activity, scare the neighbours from your drive, or just want the ultimate conversation-starter for the school run, this exclusive listing gives fans a rare glimpse into one of the most recognisable cars in Hollywood history.

We showcase hundreds of thousands of incredible vehicles on our platform, but this Cadillac Ecto-1 is truly supernatural. Finished with ghost hunting props, dramatic light bars and a recognisable siren, it’s a spectacular tribute to one of cinema's greatest ever cars. Arriving just in time for Halloween, it offers a rare opportunity for film fans and collectors alike to own a legendary piece of pop culture - and the next owner is sure to turn plenty of heads, all for a cool £150,000!
